Cubs Prove Rude Guests, Win 6-3 at New York
Cubs right fielder Derek Bell put his stamp on his team's 6-3 win over the New York Yankees. Bell went 2 for 5 with a home run. He scored 2 runs for Chicago in the contest. Chicago has a 4-game win streak, while New York has lost 11 in a row.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Luis Gonzalez to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We'll savor this win," Gonzalez told the Chicago Daily News, "then get ready for the next game."
